Does anyone else watch this show? I really like it. Piven has some of the best one-liners.

Gamplayerx

Nope, sorry.  Never heard of it.

I've seen it a couple of times, but I don't have HBO anymore. It was ok.

If you want, you can you record Empire Falls and mail it to me.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

Richard Russo is one of my favorite authors. Another one of his books, Nobody's Fool, was made into a movie a few years ago starring Paul Newman.

i went to hear him speak once, up in maine, and he was talking about how he writes. he said that when he started empire falls, he had written about 500 pages.... and then sickeningly realized that he had just really started the novel at about page 485.

i liked him a great deal.

i liked nobody's fool better than empire falls, though. although the opening scene with the decomposing moose is a good one. what did you like best about empire falls? maybe i need to reread.

I liked Nobody's Fool more, too. I think it's the best of the books he's written.

oh good - i thought i was missing something when i liked the book he didn't win the pulitzer for better than the one that he did win it for.....

if you get a chance to hear him read sometime, you should. he reads his work very very well and has interesting things to say about his work.

I've heard him on Fresh Air, but never live.

Okay.  Now what the heck happened to the preview button???  Damn you squirrels!  I really do have 5, FIVE, yellow sweettarts for you!

Sorry. I got all distracted by the button madness.  My original intent was to ask if Nobody's Fool is the book that that movie was.

eo000

i agree about the preview button being gone.

Thank you.  He's starting to make me question my sanity.  And I just love the added tease of it still saying you can hit alt+p to preview - and then it just BEEPS AT ME! I need an "I'm loco" smilie.

dc

Actually, the preview button was an unintended consequence.....  Of what, I don't know.  But I'll bring it back when I do figure it out.

dc

It's back.  There was a mod that made some unintended changes.

I was totally unaware that Empire Falls was turned into a teleplay.
